Computer Museum of America which will open in Summer'19 (along with a Cray exhibit with dozens of machines). -Alan On 2018-11-30 19:34, Ethan O'Toole wrote:
And DMX512 isn't so non-vintage computing related. I did some faux lighting panels for a Thinking Machines CM-2 recently. The controller is built around an ESP32 with BT/Wifi. I thought about adding support for artnet so the 4096 individually dim-able LEDs can be controlled with standard DMX universes :) Have to finish the project in January. Would be a good way for non-technical museum people to setup lighting patterns. -Alan
CM/2? Where!? The one at the Mountain View Computer History Museum? I only know of that CM2 in the wild, along with the Frostberg CM-5 at the NSA museum up the road in Maryland.
A Cray and a Thinking Machines were my two "grails." I managed to get one, and the sheer weight let it be the final big machine grail :-) When I saw the CM-5 at the NSA Cryptographic Museum I was floored to find out it was some 9' high and is likely to cause difficully going into a truck. Not to mention through a normal door!
